The neofb framebuffer driver is what I'm using to get a full screen
console on my 110ct. Catch is, it isn't until a very new version of the
driver - 0.4 - that they specially support the libretto, so it'll depend
on your kernel. I spent a couple of hours googling around and found a
link to a patch for the 2.4.20 kernel (off the kernel mailing list, I
think). Patched my kernel, painstakingly recompiled (is it supposed to
take ~16hrs or so to compile a 2.4 linux kernel on a 64mb 110ct?), and
it works great. You specifically need to load the driver with a
-libretto switch.

Email me off list if you want a copy of the patch.
